I have a confession to make: I don’t like the taste of dates. Specifically, Medjool dates.
That’s if I’m eating them on their own. Dates are saccharine — they’ve got rich, prominent notes of honey, caramel and warm vanilla, which are indeed delectable, yet can be pretty intense on the palate. They are sticky and chewy, each bite of fruit managing to get stuck in between the tightest crevices of your teeth. They are fleshy. And they are undeniably wrinkly.
